1) Dark Confidant
2) Sensei's Divining Top
3) Knight of the Reliquary
4) Counterbalance
5) Dark Ritual (cooler picture than LED :P)

It seems wrong to take Goblin Lackey off the list. I think that red and black should be represented:
1) Goblin Lackey
2) Dark Confidant
3) Dark Ritual
4) Thoughtseize
5) Grim Lavamancer

I see more than others do because I know where to look.
1) Sensei's Divining Top
2) Knight of the Reliquary

4) Emrakul, the Aeon's Torn
5) Krosan Grip
1) Natural Order
2) Lord of Atlantis
3) Jace, the Mindsculptor

5) Lotus Petal
1) Sensei's Divining Top
2) Dark Confidant
3) Dark Ritual

There should be at least one red card on the banner, IMO.

1.) Goblin Lackey (From the Vault art)
2.) Sensei's Divining Top
3.) Lion's Eye Diamond
4.) Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
5.) Knight of the Reliquary
We need to represent combo and the color red. Emrakul shows the brokenness/awesomeness of the format.
1) Dark Confidant
2) Stifle
3) Sensei's Divining Top
4) Lightning Bolt
5) Lion's Eye Diamond

By my count, it's 15-15?
EDIT: It's weighted haha. Reading comprehension for the win!

58-57 weighted vote, with Top slightly ahead. LED is distant third at 42, with everyone else far behind (I think Knight was fourth with twenty or so, but I stopped counting when it became obvious he wasn't going to catch up.)

1) Dark Confidant
2) Knight of the Reliquary
3) Tendrils (FNM)
4) Natural Order
5) Top
1. Goblin Lackey
Goblins has consistently been a DTB for longer than most other decks have existed. Turn 1 lackey still dictates many deck-building constraints. I won't give votes to anything else.
I think Top should beat Dark Confidant. It's played in more decks than Confidant, including but in no way limited to CounterTop, which itself is an incredibly varied archetype. Dark Confidant is awesome and appeals to me more than Top, but Top has been and still is such an important part of Legacy that it absolutely deserves to place first. I'm surprised Counterbalance got chosen over it in the past.
Jace is undoubtedly very powerful, but the card is quite new, so I reckon it should wait a bit.
Will the same number of total spaces remain constant?
I agree, for one, that Lackey should be on there as an auto-include. It's the only red card, and also represents Tribal in general, but more specifically, Goblins :P
-Matt
We might shorten it to 10 (from 11) if it isn't close. Six slots are locked, so 4-5 up for grabs.
Lackey wasn't an auto only because it's been awhile since goblins has really performed well - merfolk way outperformed it in the SCGs.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

Why not use Cavius day's banner? :D
On a more serious note:
1) Tendrils needs to stay
2) Divining Top
3) Lackey needs to stay
4) LED
5) Daze
Sensei's Divining Top
Aether Vial
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
Wasteland
Lion's Eye Diamond
Swords to Plowshares
Brainstorm
Force of Will
Hymn to Tourach
Lightning Bolt
Tarmogoyf
I'm fairly certain that that covers 95% and up of Legacy.
Actually, I'm having difficulty thinking of a deck besides Enchantress that doesn't run at least one of those cards.
eta: Only 7 of the 160 decks to top 8 a Legacy Open in the past year didn't have one of the above cards-1 Enchantress, 1 Elves sans Emrakul for some reason, 2 Affinity and 3 LED-less Ichorid- so yeah, a bit more than 95%.

Why Hymn to Tourach over Dark Confidant?
Other than that, I think IBA got it wrapped up.
As for the art:
Sensei's Divining Top - Only one art
Aether Vial - The original from Darksteel
Emrakul - Prerelease Promo, because I see that more often than the regular version
Wasteland - Tempest art, its the classic one
Lion's Eye Diamond - Only one art
Swords to Plowshares - The Alpha art. Enough said
Brainstorm - The Mercadian Masque art, that art also reminds me of Super Jace for some reason.
Force of Will - Only one art
Hymn to Tourach - The one by Liz Danforth art because it looks more ritualist than the rest of themDark Confidant - Only one art
Lightning Bolt - The Alpha art
Tarmogoyf - Only one art
I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums
